ONLINE: Befriending Your Nervous System: A Trauma Informed Yoga Series
With Kelly Price
September 29 - October 20, 2022
Zoom, Online
As we continue to live through a global pandemic, many of us are experiencing unprecedented levels of chronic stress. A prolonged perception of threat, uncertainty and loneliness can disrupt the homeostatic function of our autonomic nervous system, undermining our mental and physical health, and aggravating pre-existing conditions. Yoga is a comprehensive mind-body practice that is particularly effective for improving physical and mental health and alleviating suffering at the deepest levels. Yoga’s potential to regulate our nervous system, decrease inflammation, foster immunity, manage mood and increase resilience and wellbeing, is now being recognized internationally. This accessible, therapeutic yoga series is designed…
Lunch with Luminaries: Defining Science and How it Relates to Haven
With Kevin Wong and Jock McKeen
October 4, 2022
Online
Join us for a FREE webinar with Kevin Wong, PhD Biochemist and son of Haven's founders Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen. Growing up, Kevin Wong was always interested in how things work, and naturally was drawn to the biological sciences. His fathers Bennet Wong and Jock McKeen, the founders of Haven, had followed a similar path in their younger years. But it appeared to Kevin that his fathers’ journey into the personal development world didn’t fit into the science world he was being taught. This talk will share Kevin’s definition of what “Science” and the “Scientific Method” is, and then…
双语 | Bilingual – 意識與慈悲的親子教養 Conscious and Compassionate Parenting
With 溫蒂·李·舒爾茨 Wendy Lee Schulz B. and 李文淑 Wen-Shwu Lee
October 5 - 15, 2022
也許您會發現自己幾乎是技窮，無法有效地應對眼前教養子女的各種挑戰，無論是：技術方法，面對各種身心症狀：抑鬱、焦慮，紀律問題，如何設定界限，等等。正如我的母親常這麼說：「很不幸的，教養孩子這件事是沒有使用說明書的！」 真希望有個「使用說明」，如果真的有，我們可能會更成功、更足智多謀，在父母與孩子的連結上會更緊密。我們如何學會為人父母的呢？帶著榮耀父母的心，課程中我們將一起來發現從自己的父母那，我們學到了那些教養方式。也通過觀察社會文化對教養子女的規範，我們可以發現自己的價值觀，我們重視或不重視什麼。因此我們可以為教育兒女開啟了一條新的道路，以全新的方式來認識我們的孩子。在一個安全、不羞愧，尊重個人界限與隱私的環境中，讓我們開始深入探討這個主題，讓我們從身為父母的優勢力量中出發，體會到充足的資源，並以雙方都想要的方式與孩子建立共同成長的親子關係。 Perhaps you find you are ill equipped for parenting challenges that are in front of you like technology, depression, anxiety, discipline issues, setting boundaries. As my own mother used to say ‘unfortunately children do not come with an instruction manual’. If only they did we might feel more successful, resourceful and connected as parents to our children. How did we learn to be a parent? In honor of our own parents we will discover what we learned about parenting from them, by looking at cultural norms around parenting we can uncover what we value or not and begin to…

通常我們會以我們所做的工作，我們的交友圈，或是我們的專業成就來定義自己。我們常被告知，年輕正是成長和改變的關鍵時期！我們也被期待著，在兼顧無數其他任務的『同時，』我們不要錯失了這關鍵的年輕時刻！現在加上當今政治和社會的動盪，抗爭衝突，以及全球疫情蔓延，年輕族群的生活真的變成了壓力，而不再是樂趣！無論清晰與否，我們對生活總有願景，我們規劃著如何向世界、向家人，或是向我們的伴侶證明自己。然而，面對這種種喘不過氣的壓力，學校與社會教育給年輕人的，似乎只是讓我們精進在個人的專業科目上，並沒有真正引導我們如何向內看，與自己的情感連結，面對失敗挫折，或者如何建立親密關係。在不了解自己的前提下，我們又怎麼知道自己想要什麼？~ So often we define ourselves by our jobs, our friend groups, our occupations and our accomplishments. As young people we are told that we are in a crucial period of growth and change, yet the expectation is that we do that while managing a thousand other tasks, all at once. When you pile on political and social upheaval, war and conflict, and a worldwide pandemic, life can become more of a stress than a pleasure. Whether we know it or not, we have a vision for our lives, mapping out how we want to prove ourselves to the world,…
